Macolepiota procera for sure.

These were about 15 cm high, and 5-6 cm in circumference.
Unfortunately I couldn't find any mature specimens. Probably if I'll go back in a day or two I'll be able to find them in the same spot and they might be still there because there are a lot of sheep in the area and I hope that they won't trample the mushrooms (or eat them).

Interesting... we have some M species that grow in grassy areas... what size are these?
